this is what the country looked like in 2009, president obama's first full year in office. every state that looks brown out here is a state where they were losing jobs at the time. some of them very badly. look at ohio over here. 10.6% unemployment. gradually over the next few years we saw jobs come on and education and in health care and in business services and retail. and now look where we are today. every state that is lighter in color is where there are either no longer losing jobs or in most cases gaining jobs. ohio, 7.2% employment now. that is better than the national average. the bureau of labor statistics says to make that happen we had to create a lot of jobs. how many? by their count, 4.4 million so far. but here's what's not mentioned much, 4.3 million were lost during the bad days. so the net gain is only about 125,000 jobs. that falls short of the president's claim he created five million jobs. it's just a little bit too much of a stretch. we have to call that claim false. even though many democrats will say in a heartbeat, look, he inherited a bad economy fr

so do you approve or disapprove of barack obama's handling of the economy over the last year? a quarter, nearly a quarter of undecided voters will say that they don't know. they cannot even say they approve or disapprove of the way the president's handled the economy. and the most important thing is that the number of people who will say that among deded voters is much lower, it's about 4%. so they're not engaged. >> so then, i guess of the people who some of whom are not engaged, will they ultimately make up their minds? is this as i like to call it a game time decision once they get to that voting booth? how does this work on november 6th for them? >> well, another common myth is they're all independents. we use those two words synonymously, independent and undecided. not true. a lot of them have party identifications. so just like everyone else at the end of the day they're going to vote their party. beyond that many of them will stay home. but the rest of them will pay a lot of attention to how this race is trending in the last couple of days. >> so they will pay attention

they know obama, but they just heard a lot about mitt romney. and they saw a completely different person last night. they saw a guy in control, a guy who shared their values, a guy that they could trust. you know, all those sorts of attributes that people are looking for in a president, they saw in mitt romney last night. >> hey, mark, it's john berman here. it does appear the results of this debate were very decisive, wide agreement on that. but if there's some silver lining, i've rewatched this debate almost three times since last night, playing again and again and again. there's not one awful moment for barack obama. there's not one defining sound bite for mitt romney that's being replayed, that people who missed the debate will see, oh, my gosh, that's what he's talking about, he won. i think what people might be hearing today is just the media saying, romney won big. but is there a moment that says that for itself? >> you know, you're right, john, there's not a standout moment that is going to be replayed by the press, but what is being rep
